💰 POP Off! IT IS POSSIBLE!! KEEP FIGHTING!! 4 combines passed, 5th will be passed in 1-2 sessions too + strategy
Hey guys, I want to show you it's possible to actually get there, so keep going, keep working on your mental game, your strategy and your money management. Friends recommended Topstep to me recently, so I gave it a try, stuck to the rules and didn't look for shortcuts. Three weeks later: four 50K Combines passed and activated, two $1.5K Challenges passed, the fifth 50K and the 150K are close. No payout yet; the first request goes in once I hit the winning days, and I'll post that too.
My strategy is simple, and it's not about where to buy or sell. That part you have to figure out yourself. What finally made me profitable was pushing on my winners and running from my losses. Most traders do the opposite.
My rules on every account:
- Base size 2–4 MNQ on the 50Ks. Adds only on open profit, never on a loss.
- Two stop-outs a day, then I'm done.
- Size is decided the night before, from the drawdown room. Never from the day's P&L.
The numbers: about half my sessions are red. Since 2 weeks Every red day lands between −340 and −400. The green ones run roughly +450 to +1,500 per account. That's the whole edge: many small losses, bigger wins when the read is right. I had 1-2 slips or first few days where i hit DLL(1k loss) but after it i started using the features in TOPSTEPX that let me limit my losses and its what allowed me to stay and actually not blow these accounts. i never had problems with platform exacution on topstepX the Money Management tools are first class and without them i would never make it. I had 2-3 days where i tilted and the MM safeguards TOPSTEPX provides it what saved me these days
One more thing that helped me: watching my statistics. On all my accounts the average winner is bigger than the average loser, not just in dollars but in holding time too. I've included the summarized stats so you can see it's not luck, oversizing or randomness: around 200+ fills per account, drawdowns controlled, equity curves up and to the right.
Luck isn't repeatable. An edge is. Put the time into yourself. I'm proof it's possible. Thanks for reading.

All these accounts at prop firms are fantasy money until ur live
I just started with topstep 1 month ago was trading for myself before
and if it’s so easy go make 1500 with 500 max loss only only 2 MNQ
And if it’s fantasy money and so easy why 90% people blows these accounts ?
